Former Virginia Gov. James Gilmore would like conservatives who are shopping for an alternative to the leading contenders for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination to know that he is no “Johnny come lately,” whether the issue is fighting terrorism, securing tax cuts, preserving gun rights, or promoting the right to life.

Gilmore said that, as Virginia’s governor, he fought to downsize government and cut taxes, including a car tax. He supported “right to life” initiatives and Second Amendment rights and was a member of the board of directors of the National Rifle Association.
